Every current brush in one table, then a page for every pair. Motion, pressure sensor, battery, replacement heads, app, braces, sensitive gums, ADA Seal, and what three years actually costs. The Dyson CameraJet, new in September 2026, is in the set.
Pick for most people
A round magnetic head, a pressure ring you can see, three modes, and no app tax. It is the brush we point at when someone asks for one answer. The Sonicare 4100 is the answer when the gums are the reason they asked.
Six brushes cover the forks: round head, sonic, cheap classic Oral-B, the new Dyson, a head-heavy kit, and a brush that also flosses.

#2 sonic pick
Lowest ongoing cost if you already like the round-head feel
Someone who will pay $500 to see the gaps and have a jet hit them, and who will practice the technique
A sonic kit with years of heads in the box, if you do not need a pressure sensor
One countertop device if you already know you will not string-floss
Price buttons are slots. Affiliate links get added later and will not move these picks. Disclosure.
You compare the fields that change the mouth, then the fields that change the bill. Motion decides feel. A pressure sensor decides whether the brush will let you damage the gum. Battery decides whether it is dead on a Sunday. Head compatibility decides whether the drawer of refills you own is now trash. An app is optional. A camera and a jet are a different product, and only the Dyson CameraJet has both.
This site does not pretend we ran a plaque index on 17 handles. Every row is labeled Researched. The protocol, the weights we would use if a bench log existed, and the line between a brand claim and a measured fact are on how we compare.
Round Oral-B heads scrub one tooth. Sonicare heads sweep and throw fluid between teeth. Feel is allowed to decide. The motion guide.
Low intensity, a sensor you can see, and a sonic sweep if roots are exposed. Sensitive gums.
Four a year. iO heads do not fit a Pro handle. That single fact moves more money than a mode list. Replacement heads.
